Confirmed from Hickory Street Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 5 mentions

“Nice quiet little park with walking trail, play equipment and a large grassy area for play.”

A cute little park with paved walking path, benches, shade trees, basketball court, covered picnic area, drinking fountain. Playground is simple but fun.

★★★★☆ — Laura , Jun 2025

Nice little neighborhood park. The playground is small, designed for younger children. Two baby swings and four regular swings. Asphalt basketball court with two hoops. Picnic shelter, paved walking path. It's small but a nice place to spend some time.

★★★★★ — Lisa , Aug 2020

Fun little park. Has a small pavilion and a small playground. There also seemed to be a super small "skate park"... Though there really isn't much cement or space to do much with the equipment there. The total size of the park is about the size of a block- with a walking path more or less around the perimeter.

★★★★★ — Daniel , Jun 2019

Wonderful park...always maintained, friendly people and dogs...shaded area to eat in. Water fountain and bathroom. Kids play area...the only negative is there is a street on both sides of the park...so keep your pups and kiddos close. The environment is also safe..

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

🚻 Restrooms 8 mentions

“Would be an awesome location to fly kites or do picnics in the grass or a roofed area containing picnic tables and I believe a charcoal bbq onsite as well as a porta pot bathroom.”
